which will give the best stance, megan or tein? i want it nice and even... with no fender gap

if ur asking this question u don't understand what they are. they are both coilover dampers w/ adjustable ride height springs. you can infinitely adjust the ride heigt of both from just a little lower than stock to about -4"... so which one gives the best stance? both or either or neither if you wanna go lower than 4".

Limited budget don't work when it comes to stuff like this, coilivers are expensive butvthey worth it and springs are cheap and worth it don't get no ebay coilover kit or knock off springs, be patient and save ur money and get the coilivers, and if u decide to get springs then upgrade ur shocks

How much r u looking to spend ??

300... I See In The Reviews Alot Have Used The Eibach Prokit With Stock Struts... What Do U Guys Think?

[mrjaydeeone]

stock struts wont last with lowering springs too long. Especially if the sturts already have a lot of mileage on them

OK SO WITH THESE IS IT A EVEN DROP WITH NO REAR SAG?

the rear will sit about even with the front, if you have stuff in your trunk ie a system etc it will sit lower and sag if its heavy...definatelly dont use those or any other drop springs without a/m shocks/struts though they will just blow out and teh ride will be terrible, just wait till you have enough money to do it right, otherwise you will have to redo it and spend even more money

[guynlidia2006]

Well I Work At Goodyear, So Lift Time Is No Problem, I Am Just Gonna Lower It Down Till I Get The New Struts... Let Me Take A Poll.. Eibach Prokit Or Megan Springs?

[spdracr]

so u gonna buy springs and install them with stock shocks then blow those and buy a set of aftermarket shocks and then redo the whole procedure again ?? That's just a waste of time

[guynlidia2006]

not really, i enjoy doing the work

[guynlidia2006]

besides the wife bitches less when i do things in steps ... less money out of pocket at once...

[G-spot]

^ labor free 8)

[spdracr]

I say save money and do it all at once I had my car for six months before I dropped it so just be patient

[guynlidia2006]

lol and since i am the service manager i may not even have to do the labor...

just keep in mind that if lower it "even", it still won't look even. what i mean is if u drop the front and rear the same amount, the front wheel well gap will still look bigger since it is actually bigger. to get the car to look like the wheel well gaps are even, you have to drop the front a little more than the rear... that could account for the rear "sag" u think u are seeing.

look at my car carefully; the front is actually dropped more than the rear but it looks "even" since the wheel gaps are about the same:



estimated drop is around 3.25" front, 2.75" rear. the only way to acheive this look is w/ adjustable springs or full matched coilovers (or bags)... my setup: TEIN SS-P, INGALLS camber correction kits front and rear.

[lonestar22]

if your going for looks and want coilovers the cheapest id go with is skunk2 or ground control coilovers

[Reelax]

if your going for looks and want coilovers the cheapest id go with is skunk2 or ground control coilovers

yeah but both of those will blow stock shocks pretty quickly. if ur gonna go that route, get GROUND CONTROL and KYB AGX or even GR2, and don't drop more than 1.5" (AGX and GR2 are not short body dampers like those that come w/ matched coilovers like TEIN and MEGAN, and will blow much sooner if u drop over 1.5").

basically JUST like i said before everyone. a performance mod like this you need to save up for. its not worth buying the cheap shit, and then it going bad and having to spend more expecially if your wife doesnt want you to spend alot. my gf bitches about my spending on the car, its not her money tho. but when your married money is usually shared. do it right for LESS money in the long run
